So I have been seaching quite a bit, and it seems to me the numbers are about 10whp off from one another, the 5.0 being down. I just wanted to see what everyone else who maybe has been paying more attention than me has seen as far as WHP and WTQ numbers of a new Boss 302 with stock intake compared to a 5.0 with stock intake and the Boss 302 intake manifold.
I understand the 5.0 will have to have a tune to run the manifold, so where does that put it compared to the boss in tuned and untuned numbers? As far as factory power making mods, it seems like the Boss 302 only has the extra advantage of it's machines heads. The other goodies such as the upgraded cooling system, built lower end of the short block, etc, aren't going to add power, just make the car last on the track. I can't speak for the track key, but I am talking bsically stock to stock-ish. Thanks!
